Thread: FM Big Brake kit

  1. #1

    Default FM Big Brake kit

    I purchased a Flyin' Miata Big brake it from MiataMike earlier this June. I finally got around to mounting, and sadly found out it doesn't work with my wheels.

    This is one of their earlier kits, but same concept as the one on the FM site for the 1994-02 w/o sport package. The right front caliper has some missing paint about as big is a thumb print IIRC.

    It is only the calipers (with mounting hardware) and the rotors, front stainless brake lines, and two sets of front pads with about 50% life. You supply the brake fluid.

    $800 FIRM.

    From best I can recall there is an issue with 15" wheels and a limitation in the offset that causes a problem. I think +35 is fine +38 to +40 is not going to fit or fit safely.

    True dat.

    Right now I have a set of Konigs with generic 185/60/14s (came on car), a set of Slipstreams with 205/40/16 V710s, and OEM 15" with re-11s. My wife/garage space/wallet won't allow for a set of 6uls until I get rid of something. Plus, I can't roll the fenders (stupid SCCA B.S.) so the offset Mike mentioned may screw me.

    Pictures and descriptions of the above mentioned tire/wheel combos coming later this week when I'm back in town. I'm out stealing food from the mouth of Mick Jr.

    don't roll them, just cut them. or stop auto-xing and go to the real race track.

    AutoX makes you do more with less! I'll be doing more track days in the future, but right now it's fun standing around all day in the TX heat for 5 minutes of seat time.

    I think any class that allows big brake kits also allow fender rolling, but check to make sure, don't take my word for it.
